I had some fun experimenting, and here's the results. I was combining a large crocheted cap/kippah that I made (covering much but not all of my head) and a scarf that's just a little thinner than the width I need to cover my whole head. Tell me which you think are worthwhile wearing in the real world.
1. This is the kippah worn the way I usually do, with the scarf wrapped around sort of 1930s turban style.
2. Here I put the scarf on first, then the kippah, then wrapped the scarf over it twice- once, flat, for coverage, and as second time, gathered up, for height.
3. This looks ok from this and the next angle, but I'm not so sure about the way it cuts across my forehead...
4. This is maybe the best of the bunch, making use of the fringes on the end of the scarf, and adding a pin to keep the scarf-ends going in the right direction, and making it into a style-feature, rather than a random tie.
Here's the back of #4. Maybe braiding my hair and putting the braid in, rather than the bun, would be more successful.
5. Not so successful- a turban style with twisted scarf-ends. It would have been more successful if I'd pushed the front of the scarf back just a little, maybe.
6. Similar to 5, but with the twisted ends crossed instead of twisted around each other.
I like 2.
